If it can be determined with absolute certainty that your bottle is in fact a Circle-A bottle from Waco, Texas and related to Dr. Pepper, that would certainly influence the value. Of course, the condition is not that great, but that can't be helped unless you have it tumbled by an expert - which can be risky. Assuming it is a 1890s Circle-A bottle from Waco, in its present condition I would guess its current value at about $75 - maybe more to the right collector who just has to have it. However, I think the first thing you need to do is establish the pedigree, and then go from there. I'll help with that the best I can. But it will likely require more research and/or finding someone who knows for certain about such a bottle - which I don't. That is, unless one of the books in my library has something about it - which I will check the first chance I get.
